A few questions. One, can I safely upgrade to my project to Swift 6.2 without having to require iOS 26+? Two, where do I actually make the upgrade. This is what I see in build settings: 6.2 is not available in the dropdown?

When i create a intance of swift String : Let str = String ("Hello") As swift String are immutable, and when we mutate the value of these like: str = "Hello world ......." // 200 characters Swift should internally allocate new memory and copy the content to that buffer for update . But when i checked the addresses of original and modified str, both are same? Can you help me understand how this allocation and mutation working internally in swift String?

I recently submitted my app, Hogs, to the App Store, but it was rejected due to references to non-public symbols: _lzma_code _lzma_end I am using the LZMA compression library in my app, and these functions are part of that implementation. Here's a breakdown of my usage: Library Used: liblzma (custom wrapper around LZMA functions) Error Message: "The app references non-public symbols in Payload/Hogs.app/Hogs: _lzma_code, _lzma_end." Steps I’ve Taken: I’ve wrapped the LZMA functions in my own functions (my_lzma_code, my_lzma_end) to prevent direct references. I have checked the build settings and included -lzma in the linker flags. I’ve tried using a custom framework to encapsulate LZMA, but the issue persists. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue and get my app approved. Is there any workaround or adjustment I can make to avoid using these non-public symbols? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I notice that Swift Data type's hashValue collision when first 80 byte of data and data length are same because of the Implementation only use first 80 bytes to compute the hash. https://web.archive.org/web/20120605052030/https://opensource.apple.com/source/CF/CF-635.21/CFData.c also, even if hash collision on the situation like this, I can check data is really equal or not by == does there any reason for this implementation(only use 80 byte of data to make hashValue)? test code is under below let dataArray: [UInt8] = [ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 ] var dataArray1: [UInt8] = dataArray var dataArray2: [UInt8] = dataArray dataArray1.append(contentsOf: [0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]) dataArray2.append(contentsOf: [0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff]) let data1 = Data(dataArray1) let data2 = Data(dataArray2) // Only last 4 byte differs print(data1.hashValue) print(data2.hashValue) print(data1.hashValue == data2.hashValue) // true print(data1 == data2) // false

I am porting an old app from ObjC. The app uses many defined constants such as: #define COM_OFFSET 12.5 and many variables that are read and/or written throughout the App, such as: PCDate* Dates[367]; @class PCMainView; PCMainView* MainView; in one file called "PCCommon.h" How do I duplicate this function in Swift? I have looked around and have found no help. Thanks in advance.

I'm using this library for encoding / decoding RSA keys. https://github.com/Kitura/BlueRSA It's worked fine up until macOS sequoia. The issue I'm having is the tests pass when in Debug mode, but the moment I switch to Release mode, the library no longer works. I ruled this down the swift optimization level. If I change the Release mode to no optimization, the library works again. Wondering where in the code this could be an issue? How would optimization break the functionality?

For my app I've created a Dictionary that I want to persist using AppStorage In order to be able to do this, I added RawRepresentable conformance for my specific type of Dictionary. (see code below) typealias ScriptPickers = [Language: Bool] extension ScriptPickers: @retroactive RawRepresentable where Key == Language, Value == Bool { public init?(rawValue: String) { guard let data = rawValue.data(using: .utf8), let result = try? JSONDecoder().decode(ScriptPickers.self, from: data) else { return nil } self = result } public var rawValue: String { guard let data = try? JSONEncoder().encode(self), // data is Data type let result = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) // coerce NSData to String else { return "{}" // empty Dictionary represented as String } return result } } public enum Language: String, Codable, { case en = "en" case fr = "fr" case ja = "ja" case ko = "ko" case hr = "hr" case de = "de" } This all works fine in my app, however trying to run any tests, the build fails with the following: Conflicting conformance of 'Dictionary<Key, Value>' to protocol 'RawRepresentable'; there cannot be more than one conformance, even with different conditional bounds But then when I comment out my RawRepresentable implementation, I get the following error when attempting to run tests: Value of type 'ScriptPickers' (aka 'Dictionary<Language, Bool>') has no member 'rawValue' I hope Joseph Heller is out there somewhere chuckling at my predicament any/all ideas greatly appreciated

Using the DebugDescription macro to display an optional value produces a “String interpolation produces a debug description for an optional value” build warning. For example: @DebugDescription struct MyType: CustomDebugStringConvertible { let optionalValue: String? public var debugDescription: String { "Value: \(optionalValue)" } } The DebugDescription macro does not allow (it is an error) "Value: \(String(describing: optionalValue))" or "Value: \(optionalValue ?? "nil")" because “Only references to stored properties are allowed.” Is there a way to reconcile these? I have a build log full of these warnings, obscuring real issues.

NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", "^[0-9A-Z]+$").evaluate(with: "126𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮33") Returns true, and I don't know why. 𝒥ℰℬℬ𝒢𝒦𝒮 is not between 0-9 and A-Z, and why it returns true? How to avoid similar problem like this when using NSPredicate?

I'm trying to use FormatStyle from Foundation to format numbers when printing a vector structure. See code below. import Foundation struct Vector<T> { var values: [T] subscript(item: Int) -> T { get { values[item] } set { values[item] = newValue } } } extension Vector: CustomStringConvertible { var description: String { var desc = "( " desc += values.map { "\($0)" }.joined(separator: " ") desc += " )" return desc } } extension Vector { func formatted<F: FormatStyle>(_ style: F) -> String where F.FormatInput == T, F.FormatOutput == String { var desc = "( " desc += values.map { style.format($0) }.joined(separator: " ") desc += " )" return desc } } In the example below, the vector contains a mix of integer and float literals. The result is a vector with a type of Vector<Double>. Since the values of the vector are inferred as Double then I expect the print output to display as decimal numbers. However, the .number formatted output seems to ignore the vector type and print the values as a mix of integers and decimals. This is fixed by explicitly providing a format style with a fraction length. So why is the .formatted(.number) method ignoring the vector type T which is Double in this example? let vec = Vector(values: [-2, 5.5, 100, 19, 4, 8.37]) print(vec) print(vec.formatted(.number)) print(vec.formatted(.number.precision(.fractionLength(1...)))) ( -2.0 5.5 100.0 19.0 4.0 8.37 ) // correct output that uses all Double types ( -2 5.5 100 19 4 8.37 ) // wrong output that uses Int and Double types ( -2.0 5.5 100.0 19.0 4.0 8.37 ) // correct output that uses all Double types

Hello, I was hoping to clarify my understanding of the use of for await with an AsyncStream. My use case is, I'd like to yield async closures to the stream's continuation, with the idea that, when I use for await with the stream to process and execute the closures, it would only continue on to the following closure once the current closure has been run to completion. At a high level, I am trying to implement in-order execution of async closures in the context of re-entrancy. An example of asynchronous work I want to execute is a network call that should write to a database: func syncWithRemote() async -> Void { let data = await fetchDataFromNetwork() await writeToLocalDatabase(data) } For the sake of example, I'll call the intended manager of closure submission SingleOperationRunner. where, at a use site such as this, my desired outcome is that call 1 of syncWithRemote() is always completed before call 2 of it: let singleOperationRunner = SingleOperationRunner(priority: nil) singleOperationRunner.run { syncWithRemote() } singleOperationRunner.run { syncWithRemote() } My sketch implementation looks like this: public final class SingleOperationRunner { private let continuation: AsyncStream<() async -> Void>.Continuation public init(priority: TaskPriority?) { let (stream, continuation) = AsyncStream.makeStream(of: (() async -> Void).self) self.continuation = continuation Task.detached(priority: priority) { // Will this loop only continue when the `await operation()` completes? for await operation in stream { await operation() } } } public func run(operation: @escaping () async -> Void) { continuation.yield(operation) } deinit { continuation.finish() } } The resources I've found are https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022-110351/?time=1445 and https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-async-func-to-run-sequentially/60939/2 but do not think I have fully put the pieces together, so would appreciate any help!

I am writing a SPM based project for MacOS. In this project? I need to access MacOS Keychain. I am write a swift test built by SPM testTarget(). I can see it generates a bundle ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectTests.xctest with an executable: % file ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/MyProjectPackageTests: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64 This bundle file cannot be executed. How can I execute its tests? I tried with xcodebuild test-without-building -xctestrun ./.build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/MyProjectPackageTests.xctest -destination 'platform=macOS' without any chance. Obviously the next question is can I 'simply' add entitlement to this bundle with codesign to fix my enttilement error. My error when running the test is A required entitlement isn't present.

I’m trying to create a property wrapper that that can manage shared state across any context, which can get notified if changes happen from somewhere else. I'm using mutex, and getting and setting values works great. However, I can't find a way to create an observer pattern that the property wrappers can use. The problem is that I can’t trigger a notification from a different thread/context, and have that notification get called on the correct thread of the parent object that the property wrapper is used within. I would like the property wrapper to work from anywhere: a SwiftUI view, an actor, or from a class that is created in the background. The notification preferably would get called synchronously if triggered from the same thread or actor, or otherwise asynchronously. I don’t have to worry about race conditions from the notification because the state only needs to reach eventuall consistency. Here's the simplified pseudo code of what I'm trying to accomplish: // A single source of truth storage container. final class MemoryShared<Value>: Sendable { let state = Mutex<Value>(0) func withLock(_ action: (inout Value) -> Void) { state.withLock(action) notifyObservers() } func get() -> Value func notifyObservers() func addObserver() } // Some shared state used across the app static let globalCount = MemoryShared<Int>(0) // A property wrapper to access the shared state and receive changes @propertyWrapper struct SharedState<Value> { public var wrappedValue: T { get { state.get() } nonmutating set { // Can't set directly } } var publisher: Publisher {} init(state: MemoryShared) { // ... } } // I'd like to use it in multiple places: @Observable class MyObservable { @SharedState(globalCount) var count: Int } actor MyBackgroundActor { @SharedState(globalCount) var count: Int } @MainActor struct MyView: View { @SharedState(globalCount) var count: Int } What I’ve Tried All of the examples below are using the property wrapper within a @MainActor class. However the same issue happens no matter what context I use the wrapper in: The notification callback is never called on the context the property wrapper was created with. I’ve tried using @isolated(any) to capture the context of the wrapper and save it to be called within the state in with unchecked sendable, which doesn’t work: final class MemoryShared<Value: Sendable>: Sendable { // Stores the callback for later. public func subscribe(callback: @escaping @isolated(any) (Value) -> Void) -> Subscription } @propertyWrapper struct SharedState<Value> { init(state: MemoryShared<Value>) { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works! state.subscribe { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails self.publisher.send() } } } I’ve tried capturing the isolation within a task with AsyncStream. This actually compiles with no sendable issues, but still fails: @propertyWrapper struct SharedState<Value> { init(isolation: isolated (any Actor)? = #isolation, state: MemoryShared<Value>) { let (taskStream, continuation) = AsyncStream<Value>.makeStream() // The shared state sends new values to the continuation. subscription = state.subscribe(continuation: continuation) MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works! let task = Task { _ = isolation for await value in taskStream { _ = isolation MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails } } } } I’ve tried using multiple combine subjects and publishers: final class MemoryShared<Value: Sendable>: Sendable { let subject: PassthroughSubject<T, Never> // ... var publisher: Publisher {} // ... } @propertyWrapper final class SharedState<Value> { var localSubject: Subject init(state: MemoryShared<Value>) { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Works! handle = localSubject.sink { MainActor.assertIsolated() // Fails } stateHandle = state.publisher.subscribe(localSubject) } } I’ve also tried: Using NotificationCenter Making the property wrapper a class Using NSKeyValueObserving Using a box class that is stored within the wrapper. Using @_inheritActorContext. All of these don’t work, because the event is never called from the thread the property wrapper resides in. Is it possible at all to create an observation system that notifies the observer from the same context as where the observer was created? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm seeing a crash compiling with Swift 6 that I can reproduce with the following code. It crashes with "Incorrect actor executor assumption". Is there something that the compiler should be warning about so that this isn't a runtime crash? Note - if I use a for in loop instead of the .forEach closure, the crash does not happen.
